This is a very incomplete article.

When reading other articles about the possibility of the field reversing, not one of them has mentioned the magnetic anomaly at the south pole. But, all of them have mentioned the timing and the fact that we have an unusually large wondering of our magnetic north pole.

Neither of these facts was addressed. From information in a quick google search, these instances happen roughly on average every 300,000 years but fluctuate. The last time we had one was 780,000 years ago. The wondering north pole could indeed be an indicator of this but wasn't even mentioned as if the only indicator could be the southern anomaly.

Very misleading.
